that are a part of the Law and Garden and Utility engine. Where a warrantable condition exists, Kawasaki

work is performed at a Kawasaki Lawn and Garden and Utility engine dealer), parts and labor.

maintain the validity of the Kawasaki California / EPA Phase One Emission System Warranty:
(a) As the Lawn and Garden and Utility engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Kawasaki recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your Lawn and Garden and Utility engine, but Kawasaki cannot
deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.

Kawasaki Lawn and garden and Utility engine dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
(c) As the Lawn and Garden and Utility engine owner, you should also be aware that Kawasaki may
deny you warranty coverage if your Lawn and Garden and Utility engine or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

1. COVERAGE. Kawasaki warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser that the Lawn
and Garden and Utility engine is free from defects in material and workmanship which cause a failure
of a warranted part for a period of two years. Kawasaki is liable for damages to other engine
components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty. The 1995 and later model
year Lawn and Garden and Utility engines are warranted for two years in California. In all other
states, 1997 and later model year Lawn and Garden and Utility engines are warranted for two years.
If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by
Kawasaki. This warranty time period shall begin on the date the Lawn and Garden and Utility engine
is delivered to the initial purchaser or on the date the Lawn and Garden and Utility engine is first
placed in service.
Warranty defects shall be remedied during customary business hours at any authorized Kawasaki
Lawn and Garden and Utility engine dealer located within the United States of America. Any
manufacturer-approved replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty
maintenance or repairs on emission-related parts, and must be provided without charge to the owner
if the part is still under warranty. Any part or parts replaced under this warranty shall become the
property of Kawasaki.
The emission related warranted parts are specifically defined by the California Air Resources Board's
Emission Warranty Parts List. (EPA's regulations do not include a parts list, but EPA considers
emission-related parts to include all parts listed here.) These warranted parts are: carburetor and
internal parts, spark advance/retard systems, cold start enrichment systems, magneto or electronic
ignition systems, air cleaner element, and spark plugs if failure occurs prior to the first required
scheduled replacement, hoses, clamps, fittings gaskets, sealing devices, mounting hardware and
tubing used directly in these parts. Since emission related parts may vary slightly from model to
model, certain models may not contain all of these parts and certain models may contain functionally
equivalent parts.
